Will it happen?

Roman Reigns has been cemented as the top heel in WWE for three years now, and it’s hard to imagine Reigns reverting to his somewhat loathed babyface persona. However, according to legendary wrestling personality, Jim Cornette on his podcast, it’s inevitable that Reigns is going to turn babyface:

“…Roman Reigns because he is such a good heel will eventually (turn babyface)… I would assume it would be the riding off into the Twilight of his career. I’m not saying wait till he’s 60. Who knows how much longer he’s going to do this? But it would be for a last run of a year or two. And he already makes sporadic appearances.”

“So, they wouldn’t be beating it to death. But it probably needs to happen because when you get so good at being bad, the people like it. Roddy Piper, Steve Austin, Jerry Lawler, through territories in history. It’s gonna happen”.

Reigns has truly come into his own as a heel, and the thought of Reigns as a babyface again certainly isn’t exciting. Reigns has managed to obtain some amount of power within WWE, after all it was his call to ditch the hokey babyface character in 2020, so it’s possible that Reigns rules out any plans to move his character in a different direction.
